I the increase would serve to cover all expenses l and do away with the annual deficiency o1 | the past two or three years. The bill seemed | to meet with favor and was passed. AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE FUND. The bill directing the State treasurer to pay ! five per cent. interest on the principal of the agricultural college fund remaining in the treasury uninvested was taken up. Senator Lucas explained. Senator Staub regarded the legislation as wholly unnecessary, as the conditions of the gift of Congress were such that the State should pay five per cent. The bill was tabled on motion of Senator Staub after some further debate.
 THE PAUPER LIQUOR BILL.
 Bill that the selectmen may semi annually or oftener prepare list of town paupers and lodge copy with each person licensed to sell liquors forbidding the sale or delivery of liquors to such persons or their families. A House amendment making it obligatory up- on the selectmen to prepare the list was agreed to, also an amendment that the lists shall include only the names of persons known to use liquors. The bill was then passed.
 APPROPRIATION BILLS.
 The regular appropriation bills making ap- propriations for the school fund department, the legislative department, the executive de- partment and the department of education were explained by Senator Henry and passed in concurrence with the House.
 HOUSE BUSINESS.
 On disagreeing action between the two houses on the special police bill Messrs. Ke- hoe of New Britain and Hyde of Hartford were appointed committee of conference.
 THE COLOR LINE.
 The military committee reported adversely on the petition authorizing the Cambridge Guard, colored company of Hartford, to receive $100 annually for armory rent MT. Andrews moved that immediate action be taken and said he hoped the House would sustain the report of the committee. Mir. Hyde hoped the appropriation would be made. The State is spending between $100, 900 and $200, 1000 for the white troops and it is not going far to help the colored organiza- tion. MT. Andrews explained that the law of 1882 provided that there should be but forty companies in the State and this company cannot be included. Further discussion took place in which Messrs. Hurd, Bates. Thompson, Parsons and Gum participated. On MT. Gunn's motion the yeas and nays were ordered on the question of giving Cap tain Cambridge and his associates leave to withdraw. The whole matter seemed to take a party turn. The motion was carried, 97 to 65, so the guard is defeated.
 THE STATE TAX TO BE 1A MILLS.
 Resolutions laying State tax at 1 11 mills and autt orizlng the State treasurer to bor- row not exceeding $300,000 during the next two years to supply deficiencies were passed.
 HINT TO MRS. FOSTER.
 The bill was passed requiring persons who make business of boarding children to re- port cases of sickness or death and com polling the selectmen to inspect premises as to sanitary condition.
 COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
 The following named persons were ap- pointed county commissioners: Litchfeld county, Lyman Cunning, Sylvester N. Pet tibone; Fairfield, Joseph w. Johnston, George N. Olmstead; New Haven, A. B. Durham, Cecil A. Burleigh.
 THE HUMANE SOCIETY.
 Representative Kendrick, of Wallingford, desired to reconsider the vote passing the bill which gives the Humane society the money fines imposed upon the offenders and he moved to reconsider. He thought the powers conferred altogether too much. The bill was reconsidered, 91 to 75, and tabled.
 LEGISLATIVE cHIT-oHAT.
 The committees on agriculture and appro- priations as well as many others of the legis- lators paid a visit to the proposed new site for the Storrs Agricultural school at Wal lingford this afternoon. They were very fla vorably impressed by the location and adapt ability of the property.
 Senator Henry, who has been laid up with a broken leg for some weeks past, appeared in his accustomed seat in the Senate cham Der this morning and was the recipient of many congratulations.
 The House to-day supplemented it's former action by indefinitely postponing the tax commissioners bill which had passed the Senate. This kills the measure.
